FE0928 : Metallurgy for Non Metallurgist

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learned will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Metallurgy for Non-Metallurgist. It covers the importance and applications of metallurgy in the petroleum industry; the basic concepts of metals and alloys and the structure of metals; the characteristics of different metal alloy systems like steel, aluminum and copper alloys; the phase diagrams and their significance in understanding material behavior; the basic principles and common phase transformations in metals; the mechanical properties of metals; and testing methods for mechanical properties. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the factors affecting the selection of materials in engineering applications; the thermal properties, electrical properties and chemical properties of metals; the purpose and importance in altering metal properties; the techniques and methods of heat treatment through annealing, quenching and tempering as well as case hardening; and the effects of heat treatment on microstructure. 

 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the types of corrosion and its significance in the petroleum industry; the mechanisms of corrosion and the factors influencing corrosion; the methods of corrosion testing and corrosion protection; the corrosion behavior of different metals and alloys used in the petroleum industry; the special alloys and their applications; the common causes of metal failure and techniques for failure analysis; the welding and joining of metals as well as non-destructive testing (NDT) methods; and the future trends in metallurgy.
